Hello, I’ll be sa RP again next month. I planned 2 take my Laptop w/ me and connect 2 the Internet in d house of a friend. He has a PC w/ SmartBro and acc. 2 him there’s just an USB-cable going 2 the Smart-Antenna. There’s also a very small box integrated in this USB-cable. Acc to him a 220V gadget for more Watts or so?!

So my question:

If I come 2 RP and take a good WiFI Router w/ me is it possible 2 connect it so that his PC still is connected well and my Laptop can also connect via this Router?

Or is this Smart “USB-Antenna” an explic. “Single-PC” solution (MAC-Locked?) so that it is not possible 2 build a small “network” ?
If it’s possible, pls explain short how 2 connect so that I understand how 2 do.

Thank you - Maraming salamat and greetings from Austria/Europe!

(something to think about: when your a newbie, you’re a greenhorn; when you’ve-been-there-done-that, you’re jaded, jade is a green-colored precious stone)

i got smartbro from a halloween promo flyer.
texted all my info to the agent.
asked agent to meet up so i can get a copy of the agreement, ‘coz he says i only have a year commitment, i’ve read it’s usually 2 years.
agent said no need.
asked smart wireless center for a copy of the contract, was advised its not printable. (breathe in, breathe out)

call center agent called me up for sched, was given 2pm sched.
installers arrived 10am, i wasn’t home, installers left, said will be back by 2pm.
got home by 2.30pm, no installers in sight.
3pm called smart, was informed that install time was from 8am to 8pm and installers will arrive shortly.
i should’ve asked how short.
5pm called smart, agent called dispatch, was advised to wait for about an hour.
7pm called smart, huffing and puffing but holding myself back a great deal, agent apologized, was advised to wait for an hour or else resched. resched?!
after the call, installers showed up at the front door.
did not get mad, made installers laugh themselves to shreds instead.

i recently checked how they fancied up the wires from the receiver and found out that they nailed it to the alulod (the english word escapes hehe).
note to self: buy putty to patch holes made by nails, breathed in, breathed out.

haven’t received my first bill yet.
went online, no ‘my account’ link.
found link to download quickfix, found feedback form (meridian portal).
wrote a lengthy letter, clicked on send, got error message and my lengthy message was erased.
tried a few more times, errors galore. (this time i wrote the letter on the wordpad first, hah! )
tried to see if im just stupid and maybe there really is an independent website for smartbro existing customers, searched web, got this site.
checked on testmy.net, found out that

Not so invigorating.

Anyway guys I just learned that when dealing with technology and businesses that cater such, we should be triply patient. As long as we can still fix the faults that we find then just chalk it up for the mean time.
Proper breathing techniques and sites such as these will make our lives longer.

by the way anyone of you knows if there is an online billing for smartbro? maybe i’m just stupid.

Just this afternoon, some customer representative from smartbro called me for the scheduling of visit of one of their contractors. It was very nauseating because the lady started raising her voice and kept telling me that sending their contractor by 5:30pm is a waste of time ( talk about courtesy ). They want to send the guy earlier than 5:30pm when in fact, my connection thoroughly cuts off at exactly the same time? How will they fix something which isn’t even showing the symptoms of a broken internet connection? I had been very patient with dealing with them but this time i’m not going to be nice. And in addition to all that, i was decieved by the technicians which installed my connection. They said that there are no connection fees which they included in my bill, No hidden charges when they hid the fact that there was a connection fee and told me that i could cancel my connection anytime i want for FREE! That was such a fat lie, considering the fact that i trusted them into providing that 24 hour service they promised. As for that customer representative, i’ll do something she’ll never forget. Something that suits those people who cause much damage in time, money, and effort. That’s an idea! Can we sue them for causing damages and pay us in return?
